Why Iraqi patients choose Iran for this treatment

1Costs are typically 50–70% lower than in Turkey, Jordan, or Europe — for the same procedure, with equally experienced senior surgeons.
2Iran's specialists are among the most experienced in the region: high patient volumes mean your surgeon has performed your procedure thousands of times.
3No waiting lists. Thanks to Hemrah's direct relationships, consultations and surgery dates are usually confirmed within days.
4A short direct flight from Baghdad, Najaf, Basra, or Erbil, a shared culture and faith, halal food, and Arabic-speaking support at every step.
5You recover in a calm, private setting near the hospital, with your family beside you and a companion who handles every practical detail.

Where you will be treated

Hemrah works with accredited private clinics and university hospitals in Tehran chosen for this specialty. Your coordinator will recommend the center that best fits your case, budget, and preferred dates.

Common questions about Plastic & cosmetic surgery in Iran

Can I combine several procedures in one operation?+

Often, yes — for example liposuction with a tummy tuck, or breast and abdominal surgery together ('mommy makeover'). Your surgeon will decide what is safe based on your health and the total operating time.

How do I know the surgeon is qualified?+

We work only with surgeons who are board-certified in plastic surgery by Iran's Ministry of Health and who operate in accredited hospitals. You can see your surgeon's credentials and before-and-after photos during a video consultation before you book.

What if I need help after returning to Iraq?+

Your coordinator remains available, and your surgeon reviews your photos at agreed intervals. If anything concerns you, we arrange a video consultation within 24 hours.
